  Overview

  In a podcast-style discussion, Mike Corvino, PharmD, and Cole Swanson, PharmD, examine the management of epilepsy. About 3.4 million Americans have an epilepsy diagnosis and this condition profoundly impacts the quality of life for these individuals. It frequently requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. Pharmacists and Nurses must understand the various pharmacological therapies available, the risks and benefits associated with each, and the importance of individualized treatment plans. This session aims to provide healthcare professionals with knowledge and insights that can be integrated into daily medical practice.
